Functionality / Uses:
TSP is a strongly alkaline salt. It also is capable of buffering. Additional functions in food include emulsifying agent, stabilizer and protein modifier. Process cheese and cheese products use TSP to mae a soft process cheese that melts and flows easily at 75 - 80 o C. The TSP sequesters the calcium from the cheese protein causing the protein to dissolve and emulsify the system. The high alkalinity of TSP is advantageous when quicker cooking rates are desirable in cooked breakfast cereals. Increased pH also makes the product more creamy or yellow in color given a richer appearance. Other applications for TSP include imitation cheese, and isotonic beverages. Applications:
Cereals, Cheese, Desserts, Imitation Cheese, Infant Food, Meat, Milk Based Beverages, Poultry, Processed Cheese, Starch, Toppings, Whipped Toppings.
